mokiMERLIN SHELDRAKE'S "ENTANGLED LIFE" is just exciting & absolutely fantastic to read!!!<br>
"Some researchers use the term ‘holobiont’ to refer to an assemblage of different organisms that behaves as a unit. The word ‘holobiont’ derives from the Greek word holos, which means whole. Holobionts are the lichens of this world, the more-than-the-sums of their parts. Like ‘symbiosis’ and ‘ecology’, ‘holobiont’ is a word that does useful work. If we only have words that describe neatly bounded autonomous individuals, it is easy to think that they actually exist. The holobiont is not a utopian concept. Collaboration is always a blend of competition and co-operation. There are many instances where the interests of all the symbionts don’t align. A bacterial species in our gut can make up a key part of our digestive system but cause a deadly infection if it gets into our blood. We’re used to this idea.<br>
Perhaps it isn’t so hard for us to relate to lichens after all. This sort of relationship-building enacts one of the oldest evolutionary maxims. If the word ‘cyborg’ — short for cybernetic organism — describes the fusion between a living organism and a piece of technology, then we, like all other life forms, are symborgs, or symbiotic organisms. The authors of a seminal paper on the symbiotic view of life take a clear stance on this point. ‘There have never been individuals, they declare. “We are all lichens.’<br>

Not only can you train a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/flatworm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flatworm</span></a> - if you cut off it’s head, it will grow a new head, complete with <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>brain</span></a> *and* retain its memory.

Brian Duguid<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://c.im/@neverjim" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>neverjim</span></a></span> Some fungi reproduce by division rather than by dispersing spores ... nothing's straightforward. I have this quote in the draft: "It is appetite in bodily form" - from Merlin Sheldrake's book <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/EntangledLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EntangledLife</span></a>. Fungi consume. They cause rust, rot, decay, decomposition, but along with other saprotrophs they are part of a cycle of life: helping create humus, nutrients etc. So: they are complex. The trick is tying this to the existing <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Glorantha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Glorantha</span></a> mythos & finding something fun amidst that.</p>
